Returning to Philly Rodgers (ankle) agreed to a contract with the Eagles on Friday.

Impact The 29-year-old appeared in 14 games for Philadelphia last season and caught 24 of 31 targets for 345 yards and two touchdowns. Rodgers should be positioned as the team's No. 3 tight end, but he could end up as Dallas Goedert's top backup with Zach Ertz on the trade block.

Won't face Washington on SNF Rodgers (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against Washington.

Impact Rodgers has been listed as a non-participant for six consecutive practice sessions since injuring his ankle mid-contest Week 15 against the Cardinals. The veteran tight end will close out the 2020 campaign with back-to-back missed games after suiting up for Philadelphia's first 14 outings of the season. Rodgers ends the year without a reception over his final three appearances, having posted a total of 24 catches for 345 years and two touchdowns on the season.

Misses another practice Rodgers (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Rodgers hasn't practiced or played since injuring his ankle Week 15, and it seems like he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Football Team. With Dallas Goedert (calf) also absent from practice, Caleb Wilson could work as the No. 2 tight end behind Zach Ertz.

DNP at practice Rodgers (ankle) was absent from Wednesday's practice.

Impact Rodgers missed last week's loss to the Cowboys after injuring his ankle the week prior. He will presumably need to get some reps at practice in order to have a chance at suiting up in the team's upcoming regular-season finale versus Washington.

Unavailable Week 16 Rodgers (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas.

Impact The 28-year-old sustained the injury during last week's loss to the Cardinals, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game. Rodgers has seen a significant reduction in playing time since Zach Ertz returned from injured reserve Week 13. Dallas Goedert and Ertz will continue to operate as Philadelphia's top-two tight ends this weekend.

Misses practice Thursday Rodgers (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Rodgers was carted off the field Sunday with what was initially called a shin injury, but it appears that the area of concern is more directly his ankle. The tight end also sat out Wednesday's practice, so his status for Sunday's contest against Dallas appears to be in serious jeopardy. However, Rodgers' contributions have diminished significantly since the return of Zach Ertz, and he has failed to notch a catch since Week 12.

Done for the day Rodgers (shin) will not return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Rodgers was carted off the field in the first half, so it never seemed very likely that he would return to Sunday's action. The Eagles now only have top tight ends Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz as healthy options at the positions.

Suffers shin injury Rodgers was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Cardinals with a shin injury.

Impact Rodgers was carted off the field in the first half. It seems unlikely he returns to the game. Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz are the lone remaining tight ends in Philadelphia's lineup.

Hardly sees field in loss Rodgers was not targeted in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

Impact With Zach Ertz returning from IR, Rodgers played just three snaps on offense all night, his lowest number since Week 3. He likely will continue to see little playing time as long as Ertz and Dallas Goedert remain healthy.

Catches late touchdown Rodgers caught three of six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Rodgers' night was highlighted by him catching a 33-yard Hail Mary in the game's final moments. Of course, the tight end had a famous catch of similar style during his prior stint with the Packers, who he'll now face in Week 13. Although he sports good momentum from Monday's performance, as well as his strong stretch while teammate Zach Ertz (ankle) has been injured, the possibility of Ertz returning to face Green Bay leaves Rodgers' stock in need of monitoring throughout the upcoming week.

Scores in loss Rodgers caught each of his two targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Browns.

Impact Both of the Eagles' touchdowns went to the tight ends on Sunday. Rodgers' was a 19-yard strike early in the second half. Despite playing just 22 snaps in this one and fewer than that last week, the 28-year-old totaled 108 yards in the pair of contests. He'll likely be relegated to the bench if Zach Ertz can return for Week 12 against the Seahawks, however.

Paces team in receiving in loss Rodgers caught four of his five targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.

Impact After going without a target in his previous outing, Rodgers bounced back to lead the team in receiving yardage. The 28-year-old now has at least 60 yards in two of his last three games. His time in the limelight may not last long however, as Zach Ertz could be back as soon as Week 11.
